10. Big Show: Son Of The Giant
As soon as WCW managed to grab hold of Paul Wight and throw him into the world of professional wrestling as The Giant, the comparisons were already being made to Andre the Giant. In fact, WCW went so far as to say that The Giant was in fact the son of Andre the Giant. Throughout the feud with Hulk Hogan, comparisons would be made between Giant and Andre, and Hogan even said he was going to slam Giant just like he did to his dad Andre. For whatever reason, people started believing that The Giant was in fact Andres son. Maybe it was because Paul was just so big that it only made sense for Andre to be his dad, or maybe the WCW commentators were very good as convincing impressionable kids that it was true. For the record, Paul Wright and Andre have no relation to each other besides the fact that they both had gigantism. Fortunately for Wight the doctors were able to perform successful surgery on his pituitary gland to stop the growth. It's a shame that they couldn't also stop this urban legend from growing as big as it did.
